Custom PC Magazine

[mike_w]

Is just me who stands in the aisle (don't block other trolleys) in Asda and reads it all?

Nope, I go to Tesco! (Although that's only two or three times a year)

Seriously, I only really read PCZone and PCPro - otherwise, I read everything on the net.

don't need to subscribe, i usally just pop down to whsmith to read it when i going to uni in the morning.

[DR]

I used to read it, but stopped a few months ago. It went a bit downhill tbh...

How come PD got a whole page, and you only got a column David?

I had a full page and dropped down Didn't have enough time to spam a full page like PD

Yeh i have a subscription. I don't know why some of you say its a bit off. I do notice that the reviews of products sometimes lack depth. Its not liek its been going long though, only since late 2003.

How do you get hold of PC modder?

PCZONE is a QUALITY mag. Makes me laugh

And I'm sure it's quality not quantity David

Personally I love Custom PC. It is a rare mag aimed at the Modder+Performance Enthusiast, rather than the begginner, at which all the others seem to be.

Been in it three times , got my work on the front cover of the first issue

Good mag tbh.

[[DW]Cougho]

I only get customPC when ive got a long journey to kill, its a decent read but when reviews are available on the internet weeks before it kinda seems pointless.

I also used to get PC Zone quite alot, now that was a quality mag, but again my cheapness and habit of reading game reviews on the net before it comes out pursuades me to leave it on the shelves now.

I have it on subscription. I like to read it on the bus to work!

Same, I would only buy it anyway so better to get it for 40% off each issue.

yeh i do find that many pc mags are aimed at beginners. Like computer active.
PC Format is fairly advanced, as is CustomPC.

My 1st issue is sept 2004. I was very excited to see it on the shelf, as it was 'my mag' all over!
'Martin Mag'

[autopilot]

Eh?, PC Format advanced? I thought it was the FHM of PC mags!

[nvening]

I love it, i also read computer shopper, which is good, but, just reviews laptops and desktops 800 - 1000 lol. The good stuff is the articles in the back pages.

You may be able to read it all in the internet, but its not the same as having a properly put together copy to read through. Dont get why people dont see that? oh well.

[unreal]

I have a subscription to Custom PC, I usually read chunks when my PC is loading, or I'm downloading something, etc

Actually I really enjoy reading PC Format, I might look up a subscription...


IMO Custom PC has WAAAAAY to many pre-built PC reviews.

[hoodmeister]

I tend to read Custom PC & PCZ.

PCZ has just had a redesign, for those interested =)

[iMc]

I'm an avid reader of CustomPC, I have every copy around the place somewhere, and have been a subscriber since Jan this year.

What's happened to PD's last page? They have replaced it with some stupid thing.

All in all it's a good read and hopefully will continue to be.

I find PC Format to be very expensive. I bought my 1st issue about 3 days ago. £6!!

iMc - are you in the Metallica Fanclub? I joined last week.
